We’re building our DREAM BOAT….but why ALUMINUM? In this video, we explore why we chose this building material for our custom expeditionary catamaran, Delos 2.0. We delve into the key benefits of aluminum, such as its unmatched strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. But itās not all smooth sailingā we also discuss the challenges and potential drawbacks of aluminum, plus solutions to combat these issues. We show you the reality of working with this material as we take you along a few pretty major projects like installing the engine bays, building and mounting the rudder tubes, and filling out the final frames all the way to the transom! And of course no discussion of aluminum would be complete without touching on how it stacks up compared to fiberglass. To put both materials to the test, we conduct a destruction test which was very ummmm *cough* educational….(and we might have had some fun running stuff over with a forklift and smashing away with a hammer). Whether youāre curious about boat building, considering materials for your own project, or just love a good showdown, this video has something for you!
